"""The studies collected in this volume constitute a significant contribution to the history of German-Jewish scholarship in the 19th and 20th centuries. They convincingly uncover the interplay between scholarly work, intellectual biography, and contemporary developments. The methodological approach itself is original: the precise reading and meticulous source-criticism characteristic of the work of ancient historians and medievalists are applied to the interpretation of scholarly texts, leading to new insights. Daniel R. Schwartz impresses in each of his contributions with clear and original questions, an outstanding knowledge of the sources, the integration of new evidence, and a masterly assessment of scholarly discussion."" - Stefan Rebenich, Professor for Ancient History and History of the Reception of Antiquity, Universität Bern, Switzerland."

Author Information

Daniel R. Schwartz is the Herbst Family Professor emeritus of Judaic Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he specializes in Jewish history and historiography of the Greco-Roman period. Among his books: Agrippa I (1990), Studies in the Jewish Background of Christianity (1992), Reading the First Century (2013), Judeans and Jews (2014), and commentaries on 1 and 2 Maccabees and on some of Josephus’s works. Frequently, however, his work on antiquity has led him to grapple with issues in modern historiography on antiquity. Among the results of such work are his monograph on Philiipp Jaffé (De Gruyter 2017) and the studies collected in this volume.
